Spoiler: ShowHide

Stunning Shock (Su)

Once per round, a shocker lizard can deliver an electrical shock to a single opponent within 5 feet. This attack deals 2d8 points of nonlethal damage to living opponents (Reflex DC 12 half). The save DC is Constitution-based.

Lethal Shock (Su)

Whenever two or more shocker lizards are within 20 feet of each other, they can work together to create a lethal shock. This effect has a radius of 20 feet, centered on any one contributing lizard. The shock deals 2d8 points of electricity damage for each lizard contributing to it, to a maximum of 12d8. A Reflex save (DC 10 + number of lizards contributing) reduces the damage by half.

Electricity Sense (Ex)

Shocker lizards automatically detect any electrical discharges within 100 feet.

Skills

Shocker lizards have a +4 racial bonus on Hide checks due to their coloration. Shocker lizards have a +2 racial bonus on Listen and Spot checks.

Shocker lizards use their Dexterity modifier instead of their Strength modifier for Climb and Jump checks.

A shocker lizard has a +8 racial bonus on Climb checks and can always choose to take 10 on a Climb check, even if rushed or threatened.

A shocker lizard has a +8 racial bonus on any Swim check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. It can always choose to take 10 on a Swim check, even if distracted or endangered. It can use the run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line.

Rogue powers:

Spoiler: ShowHide

Electric Sneak Attack (Ex)

A shocker lizard rogue applies it's sneak attack damage to it's stunning shock special attack, but not to any other of it's abilities. The stunning shock must still satisfy normal sneak attack conditions to deal electric sneak attack damage.

These were recycled from Gweonryn's scenario. This was before the comments about using gestalt animals and the like, I didn't care enough to redo them. That defeats the point of being lazy by recycling anyway!

Trip (Ex)

A wolf that hits with a bite attack can attempt to trip the opponent (+1 check modifier) as a free action without making a touch attack or provoking an attack of opportunity. If the attempt fails, the opponent cannot react to trip the wolf.

[Anastasia]

The corrupted template put them below animal intelligence and they were already stressed, so berserk insanity wasn't far-fetched. If you wonder why they didn't attack Grithalek, the magic binds on them prevented them from attacking him or the master.

This was the composite mentioned in chat. It's a mindless gimmick boss. It's a shame you guys didn't get to fight it, I thought it was a fun one. Ah well, no knocking victory.

Elemental Energy Composite

Size/Type: Large Construct
Hit Dice: 10d10+30 (98 hp)

Spoiler: ShowHide

Elemental Bursts (Su)

As an uncontrolled ball of elemental might, the Elemental Energy Composite roars with untamed fury. Each round on it's turn it shifts to a different type of elemental effect. If the composite has taken elemental damage in the past round, it shifts to that type.  If it is hit by more than one type, it favors the damage that hit it closest to it's turn. If it has taken no elemental damage in the past round, it shifts to a random effect. The DC for any effect is 15, the save DC is strength based.

Earth:  The ground explodes out with lumps of stone, dealing 1d6 damage to all creatures within 30 ft. This transforms the terrain within 30 feet to difficult terrain. A reflex save halves the damage.

Wind: Buffeting winds assail everything within 100 ft. Treat this as a hurricane force wind, blowing away anything medium or smaller. Anything that hits a solid object takes 1d6 damage. A fortitude save negates being blown away.

Fire: Great buffets of heat enaminate out, setting all ablaze within 100 ft. A reflex save negates being set on fire. Fire negates frozen ground if it is in effect.

Water: A tidal wave 30 feet long and 20 feet tall erupts out from the composite. Any creatures caught in the tidal wave are swept to the end. While this does no damage, it leaves the victim stunned for one round. A reflex save negates being swept along and a fortitude save negates being stunned. Being engulfed in the tidal wave negates being on fire.

Cold: Sub-zero cold freezes everything within a 100ft radius of the composite. This deals 1d4 points of damage and 1 point of dexterity damage. Further, everything is covered in ice, rendering all terrain icy terrain. A fortitude save negates the damage.

Lightning: A single lightning bolt arches out at one target, dealing 3d6 damage and blinding them for one round. A reflex save halves the damage and negates the blinding.

This pair of spinagons are deserters from a Blood War legion. They've managed to survive long enough to make it to one of the many forgotten places of Avernus. Cruel and malicious, they care for little except surviving and growing stronger. They hope to find strength to enslave other spinagons and eventually other devils into serving them.

Spinagon Scouts, fugitives from Bel.

[Anastasia]

Avernus is a dumpyard for portals and the summoned remnants of trillions of Blood War battles. Those that survive the wasting heat, the all pervading evil and the fireballs from the sky adapt, shaped by the hellish terrain. I forgot they had a secondary bite attack on full attacks, but this is no big deal. They're iconic for rusting, not biting. I also forgot they had spell resistance 10, though this is so low as to be negligible.

Mechanically I swapped out the SLAs of the half fire elemental template for burn.

Rust Monster 5//Fiendish 2/Half Fire Elemental 3

Kyton Mercenary

Kyton 8//Fighter 5/Warrior of Darkness 3

Fazabel is a mercenary in the employ of the Archdevil Haagenti. Warrior of Darkness is from the BoVD. I wanted him to have a PrC, was originally aiming for Mortal Hunter. Turns out Mortal Hunter is a terrible fit for an 8 HD kyton, so I defaulted back to Warrior of Darkness.

Size/Type: Medium Outsider (Evil, Devil, Lawful)
Hit Dice: 8d8+16+8 (58 hp)
Initiative: +6
Speed: 30 ft.
Armor Class: 20 (+2 Dex, +8 natural)

Full Attack: 4 chains +12 melee (2d4+3)

Skills:
Feats: Alertness(1), Toughness(F1), Improved Initiative(F2), Iron Will(3), Weapon Focus(Chains)(F4), Weapon Specialization(Chains)(6), Blind-Fight(WoD1), Power Attack(WoD3)

Dancing Chains (Su)

A chain devil's most awesome attack is its ability to control up to four chains within 20 feet as a standard action, making the chains dance or move as it wishes. In addition, a chain devil can increase these chains' length by up to 15 feet and cause them to sprout razor-edged barbs. These chains attack as effectively as the devil itself. If a chain is in another creature's possession, the creature can attempt a DC 15 Will save to break the chain devil's power over that chain. If the save is successful, the kyton cannot attempt to control that particular chain again for 24 hours or until the chain leaves the creature's possession. The save DC is Charisma-based.

A chain devil can climb chains it controls at its normal speed without making Climb checks.

Unnerving Gaze (Su)

Range 30 ft., Will DC 15 negates. A chain devil can make its face resemble one of an opponent's departed loved ones or bitter enemies. Those who fail their saves take a -2 penalty on attack rolls for 1d3 rounds. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Regeneration (Ex)

Chain devils take normal damage from silvered weapons, good-aligned weapons, and spells or effects with the good descriptor. A chain devil that loses a piece of its body regrows it in 2d6×10 minutes. Holding the severed member against the stump enables it to reattach instantly.

Hell Hound Marauders.

Hell Hound 4//Half Green Dragon 3/Fighter 1

The unwanted spawn of a Green Dragon and a greater Hell Hound, these Hounds have been left to wander the outskirts of Avernus as exiles. These feral hounds hunt with little care for anything else as they mature, yet they show flashes of draconic insight. This makes them surprising, deadly foes, as many a nupperibo and stray lemure have found.

Stalker of Avernus

Fear those fearsome enough to make Avernus their hunting grounds.

I allow fighter gestalt NPCs to take toughness more than once if they choose to. This lets me elevate HP when needed and can eat up excess feats. It originally had weapon specialization as it's fighter 6 feat; this would have killed Andrea and put Sylvie on the brink of death. I decided it had enough offense, a bit more durability was preferable. Also, I ignored improved grab - I didn't want to bring grapple into the fight, which is at counter purposes with it's charging pain build. It wouldn't have mattered much, I think.

Hellish Gargoyles

The Saint's Fingers are home to to a clan of gargoyles. Using teamwork they defend their homeland from the outcasts that roam this forsaken waste. While hostile, they are not adverse to merely collecting tolls from passing travelers.

Just as well that you guys didn't try and fight. The odds were shit-poor and you were facing a lot of them. The King was more powerful than the standard gargoyle, though I won't be posting his stats.
